CHAT 160 CONTROLS
LLEEDD IInnddiiccaattoorrss
Several blue LED lights show when the CHAT 160 is connected to a PC via USB or when the CHAT 160 is plugged into
a breakout box. The three status indicator LEDs above each microphone are blue when the unit is operational and
change to red when mute is turned on. The seven LEDs next to the volume controls illuminate blue to indicate the cur-
rent volume setting—more lights indicate a higher volume level.
Once successfully connected to your computer, the CHAT 160 will automatically become the default audio device for
Windows (speaker and microphone). When you run Skype, the CHAT 160 will also become the default speaker and
microphone for Skype calls, replacing your computer’s speakers and microphone.

Use the

buttons to adjust the volume level of the CHAT 160. Use the

160’s microphones until the button is pressed again.
If you are using the CHAT 160 with a PC (for Skype calls), you can also use the volume controls in Windows or in the
CHAT software application to make these adjustments.

volume buttons will also change the volume settings in Windows.
